WHAT fun we had working on the story about Meghan and Harry’s first international tour. There were debates about the fashion choices, whether the public displays of affection were too much and if the “controversial” moments were as bad as some critics would have everyone believe. Some people asked if Meghan was indulging in a bit of acting for the cameras and questioned why she was cradling a baby bump that was barely there. But ultimately everyone agreed it was a delight to see the couple, so clearly in love, bringing a bit of magic to the places they visited. Although Harry sometimes had a bit of a scowl, he mostly seemed at ease as he and Meghan wowed the crowds, especially when they were with kids. Certainly no stiff-upper-lip…

I’m appealing to anyone who might have a stash of unwanted YOU magazines. My niece, now living in London, would desperately like to go down memory lane with back copies, specifically from the late ’80s and ’90s. I’d be happy to pay something reasonable for them as well as postage. I’d love to surprise her. AUNTIE AUDREY, EMAIL Lindsay, I totally agree with your sentiments on smoking and flats (YOU Say, 25 October). I live in a block of flats and most of the units are smoke-free but some tenants smoke in their bathrooms with their extractor fans on, which evenly distributes the smoke, or they stand on their balconies and the smoke wafts over. Prats! NON-SMOKER, CAPE TOWN Mia Farrow plucked Soon-Yi out of a foreign orphanage and she…

IT WAS already highly anticipated – the first overseas royal tour by a golden couple who’ve captured the world’s imagination. But after their big baby announcement just a day before they were set to fly off Down Under, excitement reached fever pitch (YOU, 25 October). A tour and a tot on the way – could things get any better? And the magic began the minute Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, touched down on Australian soil. Everywhere they went people were spellbound, gathering in their thousands to catch a glimpse of a glowing Meghan and her adoring prince. Over the course of 16 days Harry (34) and Meghan (37) visited iconic sights, met with local communities, took part in mental health awareness campaigns and showed their support to several…

Meghan came in for flak for the way she frequently cradled her little baby bump, with critics calling her attention-seeking and embarrassing, and branding her bump-touching fake and staged. But midwife Lesley Gilchrist told the Daily Mail it was a perfectly natural impulse for pregnant women to want to touch their tummies, “no matter how tiny”. “She’s navigating changes in her body and instinctively protecting her unborn baby,” she says. “She may even be feeling unfamiliar sensations that draw her to touch her tummy.”…

Meghan flaunted beautiful bling during the tour. 1 She chose dangling diamond earrings, thought to be from the queen, for a state dinner hosted by the president of Fiji. 2 She wore Maison Birks Muse earrings during a walkabout at the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park in Wellington. 3 Meghan chose snowflake earrings by Maison Birks for a dinner hosted by the king and queen of Tonga. 4 She again chose Maison Birks – sapphire and double diamond halo drop earrings – at the Invictus Games’ opening.…

Literally translated, bilateral gigantomastia means “extremely large breasts”, says Dr Dirk Lazarus, a Cape Town plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon. “Some women have large breasts, known as macromastia, but abnormally large breasts are known as gigantomastia.” The condition is caused by a reaction to oestrogen and other female hormones but genetics can have an influence. There are three types of gigantomastia, says Dr Nerina Wilkinson, a Cape Town plastic surgeon. “One is caused by pregnancy hormones and causes abnormal breast growth in the first trimester. The condition can also be caused by puberty or certain medications.” Bilateral gigantomastia causes pain and discomfort, Lazarus says. A patient whose breasts weigh more than 2,5kg each can experience symptoms such as back, neck and shoulder pain, a skin rash under the breasts, headache,…

Tension between your partner and your mom can put strain on your relationship with both of them. Here are a few tips to deal with it. • You can’t fix something you’re ignoring People in this situation may try to brush it off or not draw attention to it in the hope things will blow over, says clinical psychologist Ingrid Nagaya. But this could simply exacerbate the situation. “Your mother will feel more entitled to having an opinion about your partner and your partner will feel you don’t value them as much as you do your mother,” she says. “Either way, you’ll find yourself caught between two people you love and you may end up feeling pressured into picking one over the other.” • Make your priorities clear This is…

SCORPIO 23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER Invest energy in all your goals and aspirations Your innate traits are amplified this week, which could be a help or a hindrance. With power and a remarkable supply of energy being hallmarks of a Scorpio, it’s a week in which you should be able to make inroads into your professional goals and personal aspirations alike.

TRUTH BE TOLD • Wife: Will you love me when I’m old and ugly? Husband: Darling, of course I do. • I never knew what real happiness was until I got married. Then it was too late. • A clear conscience is a sign of a bad memory. • Men don’t get lost; they discover alternative destinations. • A woman’s work that’s never done is the stuff she asks her husband to do. • If a man’s in the forest talking to himself, with no woman around, is he still wrong?

7 DAYS IN ENTEBBE True-life crime drama. In 1976 German radicals Brigitte Kuhlmann (Rosamund Pike) and Wilfried Böse (Daniel Brühl) head the hijacking of an Air France flight with 84 Israeli passengers on board, hoping to negotiate issues concerning Palestine. With Ugandan dictator Idi Amin (Nonso Anozie) sympathetic to their cause, they manage to land the plane in Entebbe, Uganda – but things don’t go according to plan when Israel launches a secret rescue mission without negotiating. This film is a sluggish take on historical events and though Pike and Brühl offer stellar performances, the drawn-out toing and froing between Brigitte and Wilfried about how to proceed dissipates any tension. – MAXINE PETERS 2018. 123 MIN. 13LPV. ALSO OUT ON DVD. WINCHESTER Horror. As the widow of gun magnate William…

EVERYTHING changed for Charlie when he started school. Until then, there was just him and his mom living in their house and he thought that was the way it was for everyone. But when he went to nursery school, that was when he found out about dads. And that he didn’t have one. His new best friend, Ben, had a dad. A dad who, Ben said, played soccer with him most weekends. Ben’s dad had even put up a net in their garden so Ben could practise taking penalties any time. Which was why, Ben said, he was good at taking penalties and Charlie was terrible. Because Ben’s dad said the more you practised something, the better you got. And, Ben said, it was obvious Charlie didn’t practise enough. Charlie…

BRINGING a newborn baby home for the first time is always special for a family – a time of tenderness and togetherness heralding the start of a new chapter in life. But for Karen Swanepoel, it was extra special. Her perfect pigeon pair were finally home after spending 25 days in hospital following their premature birth – and with their homecoming, part of the ache in her heart was eased that much more. “This is why I survived,” she says, gazing down at the tiny face of her son, Reynard, while her husband, André (47), cradles daughter Desiré nearby. Six years ago Karen (43) lost her entire family – her project engineer husband, Schalk (39), daughter Jeanelle (5) and son Juan (2) – in a head-on collision while they were…

Victoria Giuricich from Johannesburg dreams of following in the footsteps of Madeline Stuart. The 20-year-old, who calls the Australian her “role model”, recently completed a six-month modelling course at The Model Academy in Joburg and has secured a sponsorship to attend a garment design course with SA designer Isabelle Lotter, founder of SIES!Isabelle. “Victoria has already designed three garments and she’ll wear one design to South African Fashion Week at the end of October,” her manager, Lauren Winiecki, tells us. “Victoria has a charming and infectious personality, is super-confident and loves being on stage. Modelling is a perfect intermingling of all that she enjoys.” As with Maddy, health and exercise are important to Victoria. She eats healthily and keeps in shape with rhythmic gymnastics and biokinetics. “In Grades 10 and…

It’s been an intense few months of shooting for American actor VIN DIESEL and the cast and crew of superhero film Bloodshot, which has been filmed in and around Cape Town. We snapped pics of the hunky actor and British co-star TALULAH RILEY as they filmed scenes in the picturesque fishing village of Kalk Bay on the False Bay coast. The movie, in which Vin plays a slain mobster who’s brought back to life with superpowers, is set for release in 2020.…

Actress and stand-up comic AMY SCHUMER (37) has announced she’s pregnant with her first child – and her Instagram announcement was typically hilarious. The I Feel Pretty star hinted at the news with her face and that of her husband, CHRIS FISCHER (38), edited onto an image of Harry and Meghan cradling her baby bump while on a royal tour of Australia. “Chris and I are thrilled and almost positive he’s the father,” the Golden Globe nominee added in a caption. Amy and Chris, an award-winning chef and author, married in an intimate outdoor ceremony in Malibu, California, in February.…

Forget flip-flops and a sunhat – when VICTORIA BECKHAM hits the beach she stays off the sand . . . and in heels. Posh (44), accompanied by an unknown man, stayed a distance away while HARPER (7) and CRUZ (13) played in the surf and built sandcastles with their nanny on Manly Beach in Sydney, Australia. The fashion designer, who was kitted out in £927 (R17 149,50) Balenciaga heels and a £90 (R1 665) white T-shirt from her eponymous fashion line, seemed withdrawn and lost in thought when she wasn’t fiddling with her cellphone and snapping a selfie or two. Husband David (43) was attending the Invictus Games in Sydney at the time with middle son Romeo (16). Hopefully he managed to put a smile back on Posh’s face later…

While the tour went off without any major hitches, there were a few moments that set tongues wagging. THE TOO-SEXY DRESS A dress with a high slit is considered a no-no in royal circles, so when Meghan donned a Reformation frock with a slit that showed off her lean legs, Twitter users were quick to say she might “end up as another Fergie who was so popular in the beginning but so unpopular after a few months of mistakes”. THAT LEFT-ON LABEL Meghan suffered a minor wardrobe malfunction on arriving in Tonga. As she stepped out of the plane observers noticed something sticking out the bottom of her striking Self-Portrait dress. It was the price tag! Oops! GET HER OUT OF HERE! Vendors at a market in Fiji were disappointed…

As this was the Sussexes’ first big tour their entourage consisted of at least 10 people to help with day-to-day tasks, from hairstyling to communication. Their private secretary, Australian Samantha Cohen, accompanied the pair along with private secretary Amy Pickerill, an orderly, a personal photographer, a Kensington Palace assistant, three communications officers and a programme coordinator. NEXT-LEVEL HAIRDRESSER The person entrusted with Meghan’s locks was celebrity hairdresser GEORGE NORTH-WOOD, who did the duchess’ hair for her wedding reception and accompanied Harry and Meghan on their tour of Ireland in July. George, who has a salon in the upmarket London area of Fitzrovia, counts the likes of Oscar-winning actresses Kate Winslet and Alicia Vikander among his clients and charges a staggering £780 (R14 430) for a cut and blow-dry. Meghan has…

SHE’S one of the most respected and fearlessly outspoken personalities on the South African media landscape, tackling issues head on and not caring whose nose she puts out of joint in the process. Many people were disappointed when they heard SA was losing Redi Tlhabi to the United States for a while – although her decision was understandable. She’d been offered an economic journalism fellowship at New York’s prestigious Columbia University and was looking forward to “broadening my broadcast knowledge and expertise”. Redi’s whole family was going with her for the adventure (YOU, 20 July 2017) – husband Brian and their daughters, Neo (5) and Khumo (2). But in the end she didn’t leave – and next thing she was back on TV with a new show. Unfiltered is a…

HOW DO I GO ON AFTER DIVORCE? Q I feel very lonely and isolated from people. I’ve just gotten divorced as my husband fell in love with another woman and left me for her. I’m 46 and she’s much younger than me. My husband and I have two children who are in their early twenties so they’re independent and busy with their own lives. Although my sons try to be there for me, I know they must lead their own lives and can’t be with me all the time. My husband and I were always very private and didn’t have any friends to speak of. I lost my parents when I was young and don’t have any siblings so I’m alone in the world and don’t have a support system.…

• The Italian opera star’s first release with his son Matteo, Fall on Me, has got fans everywhere teary-eyed. The beautiful ballad, which the pair co-wrote, is about the special bond between parent and child. “Anyone who’s a parent, who knows the responsibility, will understand the meaning of the song,” the 60-year-old blind tenor says. • The video for the song, which sees the two dressed in tuxedos and playing grand pianos, has already racked up 17 million views on YouTube. The track also features on the soundtrack of the Disney flick The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, which is out now. • Fall on Me is off Andrea’s new album, Si (“yes” in Italian), released last month. It’s his first album in 14 years and features 16 new songs…

MAGINE living in a world where you can’t contact someone with the touch of a button. But just a few hundred years ago it was still quite difficult to communicate with other people over long distances. Let’s take a look at how inventions have increasingly made communication easier. ANCIENT TIMES The first tool people developed to communicate was language. Scientists believe this happened about 35 000 years ago. At first people just talked to one another but eventually the need to record what they said led them to draw pictures on cave walls. These drawings developed into symbols to represent ideas, which eventually led to writing. The first form of writing was called cuneiform script and developed around 3500 BC in Sumer (modern-day Iraq). This influenced the invention of hieroglyphs…

AN INTERVIEW with David Attenborough is like a game of chess. There are stand-offs and exchanges, lures and skewers, but today he’s not trying to intimidate his opponent psychologically, as some interviewers have accused him of doing in the past. Instead of being “prickly”, he’s being strategic in the way he deflects and self-deprecates. And he’s a deft user of body language to convey meaning he’d rather not commit to speech. When, for example, I ask him if having had a heart-to-heart about climate change with American president Barack Obama in 2015, he’d now like to do the same with the current incumbent of the Oval Office, President Donald Trump, a global warming denier, he slowly closes his eyes. Then he gives a deep sigh and opens them again before…

TO HIS fans he seemed like a larger-than-life, happy-go-lucky guy with everything to live for – a successful music career, a formidable reputation, throngs of adoring fans and a comfortable life. Everything he did had a little sheen of special to it. Thanks to him the way was paved for hip-hop heavyweights Cassper Nyovest and Khuli Chana to rhyme in their mother tongues. After he teamed up with American rapper Nas the door swung open for the likes of Black Coffee to reach for global success. And because of him South Africans across the spectrum got to know just how fantastic kwaito could be. He was a cross-over artist with star appeal – and never was this more obvious than when he foxtrotted, quick-stepped and waltzed his way to the…

MORE than three years after announcing her split from fellow actor BEN AFFLECK, JENNIFER GARNER has finally moved on. According to an insider, the 46-year-old Golden Globe winner has been dating American businessman JOHN MILLER (40) for a few months. “Jen’s marriage to Ben has been over for a very long time and, while her priority has always been her kids, she knew she needed to rebuild her life without Ben. “It wasn’t easy at first and she even had to push herself to date.” According to the source John, the chairman and CEO of a retail development company called Cali Group, is warm, fun and incredibly smart – and very much outside of Hollywood, which is just what Jen wanted. “He’s a real success in the business world and…

Actor WILL SMITH (50) recently spilled the beans about hitting it off with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith (47), while he was still married to Sheree Zampino (50). “Me and Sheree went to dinner – and it was one of the most bizarre emotions I ever had,” the Bright star said on Jada’s show, Red Table Talk. “I went into the bathroom and I broke down in tears. I was sitting in a stall crying uncontrollably – and I knew that [Jada] was the woman I was supposed to be with, but I knew I’d never get a divorce.” Fortunately for Will, Sheree filed for divorce in 1995 – and two years later he wed Jada. Singer JOHN MAYER (41) has let slip that his popularity in the romance department…

‘He always puts down the loo seat and often says the three magic words’ NO ‘TRAINING’ REQUIRED I’VE just read a tongue-in-cheek novel by Wendy Holden and couldn’t help laughing at times. It’s about erring spouses who voluntarily attend The School for Husbands in order to save their marriages. Contrary to their expectations of what the course would entail, they’re taught to practise replacing the cap on a tube of toothpaste, to put down the seat on the loo, to dance and to say the three magic little words, “I love you” to their wives. The book brought to mind a comment made to me by a dour-faced relative at our wedding. In an aside she gave me her version of marital advice, which was, “Train him right from the…

My terrified cat escaped from her carrier when I took her to the vet recently. I tried to catch her as she ran across two busy roads and jumped over a wall. I asked the owner of the house if I could look for her and he shouted and swore at me. I spent seven weeks looking for my kitty. I put up posters, some of which were taken down. The attitude towards my search from some people was disgusting. I was treated with funny looks and suspicion. I got my beautiful cat back thanks to two wonderful people who let me into their garden to call her as they’d spotted her. It’s amazing how people can be so different: some so kind and helpful, others so cruel and mean.…

Meghan wore a staggering £400 000 (R7,4 million) worth of jewellery during the tour. Since marrying Harry she’s amassed quite a collection, which includes gifts from her husband, her father-in-law, Prince Charles, and Queen Elizabeth. In a touching nod to her late mother-in-law, Meghan wore a pair of butterfly earrings and a yellow gold bracelet with two stones that once belonged to Princess Diana during the official welcome ceremony in Sydney at Admiralty House. The earrings were first worn by Diana on her 1986 royal tour of Canada when Harry was a toddler. At a black-tie reception with King Tupou VI of Tonga a week later Meghan wore the same aquamarine heirloom ring from Diana’s collection that she wore to her wedding reception. The ring is believed to have been…

While Meghan didn’t enlist an official stylist, it’s thought she turned to her longtime bes-tie, Jessica Mulroney (38), for wardrobe advice. Jessica, a professional stylist, joined Meghan on the tour along with her news anchor husband, Ben (42). The Canadian couple’s attendance was unofficial, meaning they weren’t on the official payroll, according to the Daily Mail. No doubt Meghan would’ve also leaned on Jessica, a mother of three, for general advice on her pregnancy and moral support. Jessica and Ben’s twin sons, Brian and John (8), and their daughter, Ivy (5), were among Meghan’s pageboys and bridesmaids at her wedding.…

WHAT happens when someone wants to draw up a will or make amendments to an existing will, but isn’t physically able to undersign it? It could happen if someone’s been paralysed or incapacitated due to accident or illness. Your Money spoke to Louis van Vuren, CEO of the Fiduciary Institute of Southern Africa (Fisa), about what’s to be done in such a case and what the legal requirements are. A DOCTOR’S ROLE A person wishing to draw up a will or amend an existing one may not have any mental impairments. It basically means the person must be aware of what’s happening around them and understand what the will says. To prove this it’s best if a medical doctor is present, Van Vuren says. A doctor can perform tests to…

SERIES DEBUT Josh plays Josh Futturman, a janitor by day and top gamer by night whose life is turned upside down when he’s visited by mysterious strangers from the future who warn him the world’s in danger and he’s the only one who can save it. Needless to say, plenty of time travel and action ensue . . . The series is the brainchild of actor-writer Seth Rogen, who also produced it. Taking on a TV role was new for Josh, who’s known for his film work – in particular The Hunger Games series in which he played Peeta Mellark. “I didn’t know what TV felt like, but this just felt like a really hard movie. The scope and the scale of it was insane,” Josh (26) says. Unlike his…

A STAR IS BORN By VARIOUS ARTISTS You’ve probably already heard Shallow, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s chart-topping duet off this movie soundtrack, which shows Bradley is a fine singer in addition to being a great actor and director. Seems some people really do have it all! This album debuted at No 1 on the Billboard charts and boasts a whopping 34 tracks, many of which were recorded on set during filming. It includes 11 dialogue snippets from the movie, so spoilers beware! Country legend Willie Nelson’s son Lukas was a major creative force on this album and co-wrote several tracks alongside Gaga, Bradley, Mark Ronson, Jason Isbell and Diane Warren. The standouts are the piano ballads, especially Is That Alright?, I Don’t Know What Love Is and Always Remember…

HALLOWEEN Horror. With Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak. Director: David Gordon Green. 18HLV. “I realised what was living behind that boy’s eyes was purely and simply evil,” said the psychiatrist in the first Halloween (1978). In this film he’s a middle-aged man, but serial killer Michael Myers still longs to put on that creepy mask and butcher as many people as he can.

After telling her mom at the age of…
